On the back of my girls' names thread please can you give feedback for our boys choices. Also love biblical names for boys as well!

Caleb (my current fav)
Jude ( have always loved this but is it a bit too common nowadays?)
Luke
James
Jonah

Thanks!

Caleb - don't like, I think it sounds harsh, but I realise it is popular and that I am in the minority.
Jude - love this, never met one of any age
Luke, James - good strong classic names
Jonah - v on trend

In order of preference:

Caleb (love this, would be on my shortlist)
Luke (like this, as well as Lucas and Luca)
James (can't really go wrong, a true classic. However the nn Jim / Jimmy would put me off)
Jonah (quite nice, a bit more unusual)
Jude (always think of it as a bit feminine - probably because the only Jude I know in RL is female!)

Love Jude

Jude is one of my favourite names.

We have an issue with boys names at the moment and are struggling to come up with many we like. We also like biblical but we only have a single syllable surname so some of them don't work.
So far we have:
Henry
Arthur
James
Nathaniel
After that we're stuck!

Adam and Daniel are classic biblical names. Solomon or Zadok if you fancy something more unusual.

Sophronia · 14/07/2014 12:42

I like Luke and James the best.

Bowlersarm · 14/07/2014 12:44

Luke is my favourite.

I don't like Jonah.

CPtart · 14/07/2014 12:56

I have a Luke and an Adam
Also love Isaac, Zachary and James.

I like all of the names! But Caleb and
Juda the most;-) Luke and Jonah goes next and the last is James (a bit too many James around me all of my life, tired of this name;-)) Just like you love biblical names as well) My number one now is Elijah/Ellie/Eliah.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/07/2014 18:34

Love Luke, James and Jude but really dislike Caleb and Jonah. Luke is my favourite.

I really like the name Caleb I dont know why I havent got it on my list... After that I like Luke, Jude, James and Jonah last not my cup of tea
